<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 389171, member: 4552"]Way, way back to the original question. What is a coin worth? In reality all coins are only worth what the face value on them states. Anything over that is purely dependant on who and how many want that coin. If no one wants a certain coin for more than face value, it does not matter how many guides, books, pamphlets, etc. say it is worth so much. You could have a coin that everyone says is worth a hundred dollars but if no one will give you a hundred dollars for it, then it is only worth what someone will pay for it. To really find out what a coin is worth today, probably the best thing to do is look at ebay or other coin selling web sites. There you would see what a coin is actually selling for. But again, if you tried to sell a similar coin for a price you saw on ebay and no one wants it, then it is only worth what you can sell it for. </p><p>This is my pessimistic attitude and in no way should be interpreted as reality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
